| 35 | Project updates / issues for BRICCS tech meeting, 11 January 2011 |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Note: Following the Oxford / NIHR conference, work streams relating to C3PR have been postponed pending review of EDGE as platofrm for research unit management data |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Infrastructure |
| 40 | - Development environments (Dave) |
| 41 | Current status: Have server resources within UoL dedicated to BRICCS development, with four virtual servers enabling us to test various configurations of software |
| 42 | A more flexible approach has been taken, with servers currently being used to create and test 'deployment' and 'upgrade' routines. |
| 43 | These resources will also be used for testing modifications to software. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - Establish 'test' and 'training' versions (Dave, Nick, Jeff) |
| 46 | A test+training version of Onyx is now working on UHL's servers |
| 47 | A test+training version of caTissue is to be deployed on UoL servers very soon |
| 48 | A test+training version on i2b2 will be deployed on UHL's servers soon |
| 49 | |
| 50 | - Development tools (Dave) |
| 51 | Trac is in use for documentation and technical issue tracking |
| 52 | Subversion and Maven in use for storing programs under development |
| 53 | |
| 54 | - Backup / restore (Dave) |
| 55 | System restore routines being tested on development servers |
| 56 | Data backup for UoL is handled by RCS |
| 57 | Data backup for UHL (Onyx) is currently within BRICCS (Nick) |
| 58 | Data backup for UHL (i2b2) will be handled by UHL IMT |
| 59 | |
| 60 | - Test scripts (Dave) |
| 61 | Development of test routines underway |
| 62 | |
| 63 | - System security review (Dave) |
| 64 | Not yet underway |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Onyx (Nick) |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Note: a new version of Onyx, including an easier questionnaire creation tool, will be released shortly |
| 69 | |
| 70 | - Questionnaire review ongoing |
| 71 | |
| 72 | - feedback from teleconference with Philippe / Vincent re audit and validation options ? decisions ? |
| 73 | |
| 74 | - data export trials being undertaken (Jeff) ? progress ? what data goes to i2b2? what (if any) goes anywhere else, e.g. for reporting? |
| 75 | |
| 76 | - report.php chart functions (Vasil) ongoing, including interview/notes data correlation ? timetable? integrate with reports generated from exported data? |
| 77 | |
| 78 | caTissue (Nick currently) |
| 79 | |
| 80 | - caTissue now in its (semi-)permanent home on briccs-3 |
| 81 | |
| 82 | - caTissue upgrade to v1.2 temporarily delayed due to delay in release of v1.2 |
| 83 | |
| 84 | - exploration of API for script / bar code reader / multiple data entry (Jeff) ? progress ? |
| 85 | |
| 86 | i2b2 (Jeff) |
| 87 | |
| 88 | - Discussions with i2b2 developers regarding ontologies has resulted in us working with a team at Stanford developing a cell for i2b2 which enables us to 'pull' ontologies from a library (likely including SNOMED CT) when needed for specific data loading into i2b2. Progress expected during early months of 2011, and therefore fits our timetable. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | - Successful deployment of a test i2b2 installation complete |
| 91 | |
| 92 | - Next step is to deploy i2b2 on UHL test server, and attempt load of test data from Onyx, mapping data to SNOMED CT codes en route. |
| 93 | |
| 94 | - Ongoing discussion with UHL IMT regarding greater use of Jason to support data aggregation from UHL systems. |
| 95 | |
| 96 | Clinical informatics / registry |
| 97 | |
| 98 | - Outline discussions with Trevor Howlett scoping objectives complete |
| 99 | |
| 100 | - Although PATS, Workstation, etc., all offer some valuable data, none offer a full systematic EPR without major strategic input by UHL. ? decisions ? |
| 101 | |
| 102 | Management tool (Nick) |
| 103 | |
| 104 | - Amendments being made to collect OPD recruitment data |
| 105 | |
| 106 | Genomics data |
| 107 | |
| 108 | - Deferred for now. |
